True. Perfectly assimilated people will still get discriminated e.g. for being Muslim, or a foreign sounding name. Anyone denying this has not lived in Europe.
Ne and my brother, both political refugees, realized at age 10 and 8 that our foreign names were getting us in so much trouble that we gave ourselves a western name. We still use those names to this day and I’ve had countless of experiences where people said „oh I didn’t expect you to be a foreigner, your name is so Dutch and you speak our language so well!“. Things haven’t changed much since then, if anything only become worse.
